The Boston Pilot has received a cable
gram from Rome stating that the first re-
port from Mgr. Persico, the pope's repre-
sentative in Ireland, has been received at
the vatican, and is most laudatory of the
Irish people. Mgr. Persico was sent to
Ireland to examine into the social and
political condition Of the Irish. The Eng
lish intriguers at Rome expected that Mgr.
Persico would see Ireland through the
duke OF Norfolk's eyes and send such re-
port to Rome as would at once for All

cause of home rule. Their malice has de-
feated itself. To question Mgr. Persicos
accuracy OF judgment is to insult the pope;
